Consecration to God; Not Resolutions!
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
The Most High God (“Elyown”) wants us to give ourselves, our bodies, our lives to Him as a living sacrifice. A sacrifice that He can take and change and mold and make into a vessel that He can use for His work and His purposes. But He warns us, to be not like the world, making resolutions that you never keep. He wants us sanctified and set apart unto only Him. He wants us to transform ourselves through His Word (the renewing of your mind). When we have put His Word into our hearts and continuously meditate on His Word instead of the things of the world, we prove His will. We will do His will, and it will be holy and acceptable to Him. We will have presented ourselves as a living sacrifice unto Him. He will, for His part, cleanse and make us clean before Him and righteous in His eye, and acceptable for every work to which He sets to do.
MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, help me to present myself unto You for Your service. Give me the power through Your Holy Spirit to overcome this world’s ways and the corruption of this earth. To be able to lay aside myself and to pick up the life of the Spirit of Christ. Help me to be strong, Oh Lord, through Your Holy Spirit that I might be an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to You in every way. Lord take me, change me, mold me, and shape me into what You want me to be. I give myself unto You from this day forward. I give You all praise, glory and honor forever. In Jesus name, I pray.
Amen
